But only if you don't have allergies. Then you might be a bit
sore today. I just got home from work and had a great desire to
do some more work to the site, so i've added some new pictures
and a few new pages to the mix. In all, it appears that i might
be gaining ground on my goal to create a more aesthetically
pleasing view for Outside The World.

My remote control is ergonomic. Is yours?
It should be.posted by RyanDavid Burningham

Greetings to you this fine day...

It's funny to think about life sometimes. I only say this
because i'm waiting for the bad to come at any time now. I was
able to get rid of my Honda and find a much more suitable car
for my purposes, and i have what appears to be a dream job at a
growing company. I'm happy, i have friends, the weather is still
too hot, but that won't change till October. No rain. But
nevertheless, life is cruising along at an incredible pace. In
the words of Elder Nielson, life's so good, it's scary...

This week has been spent mainly in the classroom at Cox. I
won't delve into this too much since i may be divulging too much
information, but know that it is both challenging and fun. I
believe that i can stay a while at this company. This weekend,
my friend Neal will be flying home from Idaho to spend a week in
between semesters with his family. It'll be good to see him and
spend some time with him before he leaves again for school. He
is the last remnant of my friends that aren't married yet, a
rare and highly (not) coveted rank on the Totem pole of life.
No, really. I swear.

Why am i not married? Because i don't know. Why aren't you
married? And don't give me anything like, "well, actually i am"
because that doesn't cut it with me anymore. I need something
more substantial to go on here, not just a reception invitation
to pad your list of presents. Want to know how many receptions
i've been to in my life? 3. My brother's, my ex girlfriend's,
and my best friend Jake's. I may, and i can't confirm this, but
it's a pretty safe bet, have a fear of commitment. Who knows,
who knows.

Well, have a wonderful weekend. Catch you on the other side
of Sunday...posted by RyanDavid Burningham

Tomorrow i start my new job...

By a show of hands, how many people hate the feeling of the
first day on the job? I know i don't really care for it.
Honestly, it doesn't matter to me how prepared i am, how focused
and intent i make myself on creating a good impression, i will
invariably feel a little out of sorts that first day. I am
starting my long-awaited job at Cox Communications tomorrow,
where i will be doing what they call E-Care...i will be handling
customer service and techical issues for clients of Cox. The
great thing about the job is that i get to do all of this by
email...and i can avoid the phones a lot of the time. So,
all of you who think that they can now call me directly to solve
all of your cable woes, sorry charlie...this cat don't play that
way.

For the past couple of months, i have delved into the world
of computer upgrades and services on the side. Not a bad little
rap, i suppose, i have had a lot of success but haven't made a
bit of money. I seem to have this problem with charging people
for things that seem a little fun to me, i suppose. So if anyone
needs their computers networked, upgraded, or repaired, let me
know. I will try my hardest to let you pay me.

I have also purchased a new scooter, it's one of the funnest
things i have ever owned in my life. I use it mainly to get
around the neighborhood, and i will use it eventually to get to
work. I am trying to sell my car, so if anybody that you know is
interested in purchasing, point them to my car's webpage
here.
It's a great car.
